As the Ref no is only four digits (they later became seven), it probably dates
to the 1950s or 1960s; it may have been used on PR or MR aircraft such as
the Valiant, Canberra, Shackleton or Nimrod MR.
If you can record any of the text on the other instrument, I will try to look it up (I can't see properly from the photo due to sight loss).

Thank you, that's more information than I hoped for.
I'll check the items for serial numbers.
